Untitled 1942

David Hare’s 1942 “Untitled” is a striking photogram, a photographic technique using objects to create an image on light-sensitive paper. The obscured figure of a woman, seated, is partially obscured by abstract, flowing shapes, emphasizing the artist's exploration of form and light. The interplay of light and dark is achieved using a technique reminiscent of Surrealism, yet Hare's approach is grounded in the materiality of the photographic process, making this a key example of his experimental style.
